Before showing the stereopticon views Professor Lowell gave an introduction in which he criticised methods of instruction in the sciences. Progress in science is necessarily a generation ahead of the text-book knowledge of its day, for the minds that conceived it must first have grown up to make possible its begetting. To impart such to the generation that follows is to up it as speedily as possible in the way of making its step forward...
...hard fought throughout, and both teams played clean but rough football. Contrary to expectation, very little new football was displayed, Yale not once attempting a forward pass or an onside kick, while Harvard with two exceptions was unsuccessful with the open play. For Harvard Wendell showed up far ahead of any of his team-mates.

Cups for first and second places will be awarded to Whitman and Ryan respectively...

Auburn street and Brentford, at the head of the river, in positions one and two respectively, could not gain on one another up to the first bend. Just before and during the first part of the second bend, however, Mt. Auburn street increased its lead, and although Brentford gained again as the crews came into the home-stretch, Mt. Auburn street pulled away at the finish...
